After passing HSC exams every year, many students fail to admit themselves in public universities locally, and in case of private universities, they have some inertia, rather become interested in pursuing higher studies abroad. Most of these students become interested to get admitted in foreign universities for admission in undergraduate program and after completing honors they are enrolled in postgraduate program. Since the websites of foreign universities are in English, the students cannot understand the admission procedures and pertinent information....
Pritilata Waddedar, a Bengal origin was the first woman to sacrifice life in the armed struggle against the British rule. The young girl set an example of love for her homeland and her nation by discarding religious dogmas and social prejudices which is rare in our history. It is absolutely difficult for a girl in the British period to ignore all adversities and become active in the anti-British movement, because the society, at that time, did not encourage girls even...
Among the various moral and social degrading incidents, the one that strikes our heart the most is child rape. The death of an innocent child due to rape before she becomes a mature woman through her physical and mental development is leading us to a stage of moral degradation. That is why the conscientious people of the country are being shocked today. According to social analysts, child rape is increasing due to various reasons including moral decay, lack of social...
Just when public life is disrupted by the slap in the face of Covid-19, some of the traditional problems of Bangladesh have come to extend sufferings. Child marriage is one of them. Since 1980s, the issue of fixing 21 years for men and 18 years for women has been in force for matrimonial precondition in our country. Even then, Bangladesh ranks fourth in terms of marrying girls off before the prescribed age.According to UNICEF, more than 51 percent of girls...
Today, with the onset of the New Year-2021, I remember very well the opening line of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem Past and Future, where she wants to see the future as completely different from the past. This very desire of a poet is reflected in the minds of people all over the world today. Today, another new year has started with the dawn of a new morning in the fog of winter. Our world could not get out of the...
Despite threat of famine at the beginning of corona outbreak, the country has produced a record amount of food grains amid adverse situations. Though the country is not lagging behind in vegetable production, but it is a matter of great regret that despite the production of such ample food grains, the market for all essential vegetables including rice, pulses, onions, potatoes, oil, spices, papaya, brinjal, gourd and green chilies is skyrocketing. Lower and lower-middle-class families are struggling to make both...
On September 5′ 1971, we lost one of the brave sons of our mighty soil, Birshrestha Nur Mohammad Sheikh. An important battle took place on this day at Sutipur in Jessore where Nur Mohammad attained martyrdom. Five freedom fighters were patrolling in the village of Goalhati in the front area of the Sutipur camp to repel a possible attack by Pakistani forces. Lance Naik Nur Mohammad Sheikh led the guard. He and four of his comrades were on duty with...
Former South African President Nelson Mandela has rightly said, “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children”. This means that the full development of a society depends on the way it treats its children. The recent killing of three children at the Jessore Child Development Center (CDC) has definitely dragged our society, the country and the nation backwards instead of forwards. The tragic killings at the Child Development Center...
We have heard the tragic story of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. We also have heard the stories of Jonathan Swift’s ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and Daniel Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ written in the 18th century. In both cases we get the heartbreaking scene of the shipwreck. That scene seems to be becoming a reality in our riverine Bangladesh. The difference lies only in one thing. That is, the reason for the shipwreck in both the travelogues is adverse weather where...
